Far from shore

ASEA

Think of where sailors might be when they’re not within sight of land.

"Far from shore" hints at being out in the open ocean, which is often described as "at sea." The answer "ASEA" is a single word that captures this idea—it’s a nautical term meaning away from land or in the middle of the sea. The clue plays on the literal meaning, so no tricky wordplay is involved, just a straightforward definition. Think of sailors or ships that are "a sea" when they’re far from the coast.
